Seamlessly integrate with PowerLab and LabChart for precise signal acquisition and analysis of large data sets while enhancing animal welfare and research efficiency. Kaha telemeters provide reliable telemetry monitoring for cardiovascular, neurological, and autonomic rodent research.
Advantages of Wireless Telemetry Systems
Improved Animal Welfare & Data Quality – Telemetry is an industry-recommended practice that reduces stress artifacts by enabling continuous data collection from conscious, freely moving animals. Rodent telemetry supports the 3Rs principles of animal research.
Conscious Data Collection – Avoid the confounding effects of anesthesia and enable cognitive and behavioral studies by recording data from conscious, free-moving animals using implantable animal telemetry.
Stress-Free & Natural Behavior – Collect accurate physiological data without the interference of handling or researcher presence by monitoring unrestrained animals in their home cage. Our telemetry solutions enable recording without restraint.
Long-Term Insights with Fewer Animals – Study biological rhythms and disease progression over days, weeks, or months, improving statistical power and reducing required group sizes. Both mice telemetry and rat telemetry studies benefit from continuous, uninterrupted recording.

Wireless ECG and Blood Pressure Telemetry for Preclinical Research
Kaha Sciences provides advanced telemetry solutions designed with preclinical cardiovascular and neurophysiology research precision in mind. Our implantable mouse telemetry devices enable researchers to capture ECG, EMG, and EEG signals from conscious, freely moving mice. Our implantable rat telemetry devices also enable blood pressure, tissue oxygen, and sympathetic nerve activity monitoring.
Whether you need an ECG telemetry system for chronic cardiovascular studies, wireless EEG recording for sleep research, or multi-parameter monitoring for autonomic studies, Kaha's telemeters integrate seamlessly with PowerLab and LabChart for comprehensive data acquisition and analysis.
For researchers transitioning from tethered systems, rodent telemetry systems offer significant advantages: reduced stress artifacts, improved animal welfare, and the ability to collect data continuously without investigator presence.
Easily calculate and display at least 30 ventricular and arterial waveform parameters.

The autonomic regulation of blood flow to various systems is dominated by the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Alterations of SNA to most vascular beds (e.g. renal, splanchnic, skeletal muscle) results in acute arterial pressure responses.

Tissue oxygen is a measure of the concentration of oxygen within a tissue, usually quantified as a partial pressure in mmHg.

LVP is a direct measure of heart health and function. It can be measured using a Pressure Telemeter inserted directly into the left ventricle. Inserting the catheter tip ~10mm into the heart has been found to give the most stable LVP signals over long periods of time.
